Salutary Conditions and Some Soup!

Riders on the third day were greeted by more of that onerous southerly Plains wind ... but then just after dawn a wall of cloud rolled past.  The weak cold front behind it brought generally following winds just in time to waft riders over the big rollers west of Anton. 
First-timer Colin Stokes, pausing after about 25 miles of this terrain, asked, "Do these rollers ever quit?"
At Byers, chef-de-controle and Arizona RBA Susan Plonsky is putting on a welcome feed of soup, made-to-order grilled cheese, and other cyclist-delighting delicacies, setting folks up for a nice final century.  

Meanwhile, Vernon Smith and Paul Foley take time out to catch up on some isometrics.
